You resist dumbing things down, but it may be wise given today’s hectic pace. People aren’t thick; it’s just their attention spans that are stretched to the limit.
Everyone deserves a share – even if they didn’t do much. Honor this when doling out the portions. Anything less invites retaliation.
You’re famous for saying no before yes. Reverse it and you take the other person by surprise. You’ll also wind up with the lion’s share.
You can close a deal and still keep your foot in the door. It’s all in the wording. Be specifically vague and no one will know the difference.
Once again someone gets the glory for all the work you put in, but don’t worry. Higher-ups already know you’re the one responsible.
You have your eyes on something but feel shy about asking for it. You might as well. Everyone knows you want it.
